Completely familiar.

Entirely revolutionary.
Introducing Apple Pencil for iPad Pro.

When using iPad Pro, there may be moments when you want even greater precision. So we
painstakingly designed Apple Pencil to expand on the versatility of Multi-Touch. And while the
technology inside is unlike anything we’ve ever engineered, picking up Apple Pencil for the first
time feels instantly familiar. It lets you make any number of effects, right down to a single pixel,
giving you more creative freedom than ever before.

Add Apple Pencil. Erase barriers.

You may never have seen Apple Pencil before, but you already know how to use it. From
the first moment, it does what you expect. And then far more. Whether you’re sketching in
the park, painting a watercolor portrait, or drafting a blueprint, Apple Pencil gives you a
variety of tools in a single instrument. You hold it, but it doesn’t hold you back.

Highly responsive. Virtually no lag.

The lightning-fast
responsiveness of
Apple Pencil separates it
from other
creative tools. That’s
because its latency
— the tiny delay between
when you begin
drawing and the time it
appears on the
screen — has been
reduced to an almost
imperceptible level.

iPad Pro knows whether you’re using your

finger or Apple Pencil. When iPad Pro
senses Apple Pencil, the subsystem scans
its signal at an astounding 240 times per second, giving it twice the data points it normally
collects with your finger. This data, combined with Apple-designed software, means that
there’s only milliseconds between the image you have in your mind and the one you see on
the display.

Draw lines of any weight.

Just apply pressure.

Within its slender case are intricate and

accurate pressure sensors, capable of
measuring a range of forces. The carefully
positioned sensor determines precisely how
hard the tip of Apple Pencil is being pressed
down. Press harder to draw thicker lines. Or
use a gentle touch for wispy hairlines. The
variety of creative effects is virtually
limitless. Which means you are as well.

Add shading with a tilt of

the hand.

Two tilt sensors built within

the tip of
Apple Pencil calculate the
exact orientation
and angle of your hand. As
you naturally
write or draw, the relative
positions of each
of these sensors can be detected by the
Multi-Touch display. So you can create
shading effects simply by tilting
Apple Pencil the way you would a charcoal
or conventional pencil.
12 hours of battery life.
You supply the creative charge.
Slip off the magnetic cap of Apple Pencil to reveal a Lightning connector that lets you
charge Apple Pencil simply by plugging it into iPad Pro. The connector features a slightly
elongated design, so that charging is possible even when iPad Pro is inside its Silicone Case.
A full charge gives you 12 hours’ worth of scribbling, sketching, annotating, and editing.1
And if the battery happens to run out while using Apple Pencil, you can just charge it from
your iPad Pro for 15 seconds and get 30 minutes of use.2

Sketch new life into your favorite apps.

Make the most of iOS 9 when you use Apple Pencil with built-in apps. Apple Pencil will
also work with iPad apps from the App Store. So you’re sure to find whole other
dimensions of creativity and productivity.

1. Testing conducted by Apple in September 2015 using preproduction Apple Pencil

and iPad Pro units and software. Testing consisted of full battery discharge while
drawing on a paired iPad Pro using automated equipment. Fast Charge testing
conducted with drained Apple Pencil units that were charged for 15 seconds using
fully charged iPad Pro units. Battery life depends on device settings, usage, and
many other factors.
2. Charge time starts when charging indicator for Apple Pencil appears in the
Notification Center battery widget.
